Squash bugs love it (the plants) and so do I. Our crop two years ago was decimated by the little ()(%%%^s. Past summer we did not plant any but had two lovely volunteer plants with at least two dozen squash. They do need space unless you get them on some type of a vertical device (trellis).
Yep. Grow it and love it. Perfect healthy alternative to pasta. It really looks and cooks like pasta even though you bake it instead of boiling it. Only downside is that it and pumpkin vines do take up a lot of garden and yard space and so it is not a vegetable for compact gardens.
I like to roast it, then gut it and sautee the strands with mushrooms, onion and bell pepper (sometimes sausage too). Put the mix back in the shell and sprinkle with Parmesan, then it goes back in the oven to melt the cheese.
So what is the growing season / planting time for this? Started eating it about five years ago and love it.
